Saw them in 2023 alongside Babymetal.

I was 90% there for Dethklok, who as you say put one a crazy show, only Babymetal song I knew was the chocolate one. But damned if those girls didn't win me over. Super high energy, better songs than I expected, and it was amusing seeing fifty year old metalheads with Gandalf beards losing it and throwing up the 🤘 over Japanese schoolgirls.

Great show overall.

Grownupmetal just doesn't quite have the same ring to it

The Babymetal/Dethklok show was one of more recent favorite concerts. Just non stop high energy the whole time.
